We are considering booking a family vaction to the atlantis in may, they have an wesome package where if you stay for 5 nights, you get the fourth night free plus you get $250 off of airfare, we will be traveling with our 2 year old and 8 year old and my brother and sister in law, they have two kids around the same age. I am thinking about booking in the reef or royal tower, what is your views on the atlantis, are there lots of things to do for kids and adults?

TIA

It been a while since I have been there but there is plenty to do for everyone. I will say that good was insanely expensive and rather mediocre for the most part. And I found the people to be rather rude. I think, if I remember correctly the reef area is closer to the pools and beaches than the royal towers. The RT were lovely but man it was hike to get anywhere. I have always said I would go back if the opportunity presented itself. It's beautiful and I would know what to expect.

THere is tons for kids to do. For your little one there are tiny water slides, several pools for kids, aquarium, dolphin show, etc... For the older kids and adults - the water slides are a blast! The beach is lovely. It is expensive there for sure. We have taken our son there 3x and he is 5. He loves it there because there is so much to do. As far as rooms I can't help much - we always stay in Harborside Condos there - it is a timeshare. The property is huge so no matter where you stay you will have to walk/shuttle around to do everything you want to do. Some rooms are closer to casino, beach, water park, etc....depends on what your preference is.

the kids will have an absoulte blast. I've taken my 10 YO niece there and she was heartbroken when we had to get back to the cruise ship. I was exhausted at the end of the day - we were on the watersides for about 5 hours and never sat down!

The property is huge (think Vegas huge) and everything is very expensive. i.e. - no water fountains, and a bottle of water is $6. I think you can have a nice family vacation there if you know going into that you are going to spend a ton of money and it is PACKED with people.

Hi:

We were there with a 14 month old about 2 years ago. We were there in November and it was too cold for the beach but we spent a lot of time in the pools. They have a little kids waterpark and slides which was a lot of fun. The aquariums are spectacular and they have a ton of kids activities.

It is VERY EXPENSIVE! Makes Disney look cheap. Think $10.00 for a sandwich size baggie of grapes, $6.00 bottles of water. The waterslides are really awesome for adults and for an adventuresome 8 year-old. We plan on going back when our boys are both old enough to ride the water slides. I had read bad reviews about the service. Everyone we met was really nice and attentive. The carpet of the rooms, however, was filthy. I couldn't believe how gross- black- our little boy's feet were after walking around the room and playing. Overall it was a really great trip, but be prepared to spend a LOT of money.

we visited atlantis on our honemoon to nassau for the day....absolutely too expensive....ahhh meals for 2 people at any of the restuarants would rob you of at least $100 per meal.
